Mr. O'Loughlin the Editor of The Herald is
stOutly built rather good man aoou'

Archbishop's letter last evening he said Yes 1t Is
perecty correct but was greatly surprised to see it

dit hardly necessary fer me to say that it will not
have any effect to make Ihe change my course whcn i
believe to be right When stan ted i'll TO support Dr.
McGlynn l did lOt count the cost or recK"h the
consequences, and nothing that coald now be done
would alter my resolution. / make this distinction
that / can decide between Episcopal policy and
Catholic doctrine. Hence, even when the pohci Oh
bishop might be in itself good ipere ~ a"ree with
him 1 know Tor fact that Dr. McGlynn was sns,
pended Tor not Withdrawing his views on the lana
which his suspension claimed TO be due was realy
not the cause as has been alleged As the theories
which he holds have not been condemned have the
right to stand by him.
Allow me to say, right here. that am MOI seeking
noto1iety in this matter If were should have puO,

handled the case of DR.. McGlynn look upon Inc
Catholic Herald business enterprise, run on
business principles 1t derives no revenue from the
Church and hence l see reason Why the Church
should have ought TO say III the Management oi It's
affairs This is the first time that this Orier TO when
Archbishop Corrigan refers has been Drought TO my
notice.
However good Catholic may be, must decline
to submit in all things to any authority as TO now
shall conduct my business affairs. Inc Herald mas
always been independent, and is i'll thorough sym
patty with thet AmericaL spirit III our priesthood mat
is represented by such Malone, Burteil, Milan
and many others. regret to say that was at one
time led think that DIR. Burtsell was not III SYM
pathy with Dr. McGlynn, but am satisfied now that
was mistaken. As TO the paper being 'shOcslngly
scandalos as the Archbishop says might say that
we refuse thousands OF dollars worth OF advertising
yearly that other Catholic Iapers gladly take
Nothing Objectionable is ever admitted TO our COZ
